Hopefully, you didn’t encounter any sparkler or firecracker mishaps this week during your celebration of our nation’s Independence. We spent a quiet day at home, recuperating from a beach crawl that took us through six states and back again, and introduced us to some fun new finds. But even though we saw some neat things, a week plus on the road proved to us that we needn’t go further than the beach in our own backyard. Sure, I bet Hawaii is fabulous, and I know that the Caribbean is beautiful. But give me that drive 45 minutes northeast, and I am a happy, happy girl.

So, let’s take a look around and see what we found this week…all the Sweet and Pretty that we are seeing to celebrate love in style. But first, we’ll recount what we are up to here on A Wedding Cake Blog.
